Question 1

was weeding & kneeling for 15 minutes. when i stood up, can't bear weight on left knee w/out severe front knee pain. doesn't hurt when sitting. tips?

Accepted Answer

Conservative care : Could be an injury to the soft tissue structures within the knee, possibly the meniscus.  I would treat with conservative care: rest, ice, and perhaps Aleve (naproxen) or similar product.  Hopefully it will resolve in short order.

Question 2

help please! i'm having knee pain only when kneeling burning sensation?

Accepted Answer

Nerve irritation.: There is a small branch of a nerve that runs in the front of the knee, and can become irritated with direct kneeling. This could account for the burning feeling. See an orthopedic knee specialist for treatment.

Question 3

i have numbness on the side of my left knee. no knee pain. right side is normal. no pain when kneeling or exercising.  numbness is always there.

Accepted Answer

Meralgia Paresthetic: This might be meralgia paresthetica especially if the numbness is also on the side of the thigh.  You can ask your physician

Question 4

i am 42, no history of knee injury. recently i get a burning sensation just beneath my knee cap when kneeling. no knee pain otherwise. any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Knee sensation: How recently?  Please tell me it's been more than a week at least.  There are some people who are overly sensitive to their body.  Give it a few days at least.  U would be surprised how many people don't give tincture of time to work.

Question 5

right knee: pain bottom left of knee cap; no pain kneeling, pain 1st 4-5 times down stairs and when walking on hard surface store floors for 3+ hours?

Accepted Answer

Chondromalacia: Very likely this represents roughened/damaged cartilage behind the kneecap termed patellar chondromalacia. 1st line treatment can include quadriceps, gluteal and hamstring strengthening; it band stretching and a knee brace that stabilizes the kneecap. Many other treatment options exist based on age, severity, activity level, etc.

Question 6

fell on knee 5 years ago ,never see md, still have knee pain going downstairs,kneeling,squatting; now getting worse , aching,burning pain 24 hours day, knee getting locked at night, grounding sound,difficulty bending knee, treatment suggestion ?

Accepted Answer

: See a doc for a proper evaluation. The cited injury and symptoms are not conclusive. This may be a simple self resolving problem (doubt) , one that needs physical therapy or one that needs surgery. Treatment is most often successful early before deterioration of the joint sets in.

Question 7

sciatica what exercise can i do to help with my back?  also my knees hurt so much i struggle to get out of bed sometimes

Accepted Answer

Exercise: There are a combination of back and core stretches and exercises for sciatic pain. Usually it is best to start with a visit to a physical therpist. If it is both knees, and there was no trauma, suggest a visit to primary care doc initially to r/o rheumatological sources for the pain, i.E rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, etc.
